Talk:Satellite phone

Delay question
This article says this: "The satellites sit at an altitude of 35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi); a noticeable delay is present while making a phone call or using data services due to the large distance from users." My question: Everything in the EM travels at the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. Shouldn't it only be a very small delay?--Wyn.junior (talk) 02:06, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

What is the frequency band satellite phones work on? I'm assuming it wouldn't be the same as cell phones.Teknozilla (talk) 09:21, 21 July 2017 (UTC)Teknozilla
